I hereby nominate Severin Gehwolf <sgehwolf at redhat.com> to JDK Reviewer.

Severin has contributed ~60 changesets[1] to OpenJDK since
2015. Backporting work exceeds 10. This includes jdk11u and
jdk8u[2]. Some backports were non-trivial. He has filed 2 CSRs[3] so
far.

Most contributions have been to hotspot/serviceability and build
areas.

Recent, yet uncommitted, work will include more container work in the
JVM (cgroup v2) and a new jlink plugin.

Specific changes worth mentioning:

- Added Nestmates support to Zero (JEP-181)[4].
- Improved container limits dection in the JVM[5].
- Fixed a memory leak in the debugger[6].
